Talk:15 cm Pz.W.42

I made the change to "15-cm-Werfergranate" based on German Explosive Ordnances (TM 9-1985-3, United States Government Printing Office, Washington: 1953). Since I consider this source to be substandard as far as the German language is concerned, I would be grateful for German-language sources. --Disabled#1 (talk) 00:11, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Did the research myself and only found "Wurfgranate" and "Wurfkörper" in German-language sources. --Disabled#1 (talk) 17:59, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi! We appreciate your interest in improving the accuracy of the wiki, but we can only reflect what is shown in the game. If you want to see any changes in the names or models of the shells/vehicles, you need to submit a bug report to the developers using this link: Gaijin.net // Issues. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! --Shimakaze (talk) 00:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Shimakaze,

I sincerely thank you for your kind reply! As far as I know, only the abbreviation is used in-game; otherwise it would have been a mistake on my part already.

Also, I was able to confirm the use of "Wurfgranate" in official German-language documents, at least for MRLS-type Nebelwerfer.

I am not aware of any (enforced) rule on sourcing for this wiki, at least for in-game data, primary sources seem to be preferred. For German documents in particular, they are not very coherent (e.g. an official Heeresdruckverordnung uses the term "Panzerjägerkanone" for PaK). They are written in a very unusual terminology and script and are difficult to find online, especially in a machine-readable format.

To make a long story short: It is exhausting and time-consuming to do this kind of research if you try to do it properly.

For the above reasons, and since military history is not the main scope of this wiki, I will refrain from this kind of editing in the future.
